Efficacy/Safety/Subject Satisfaction/Duration of Response of Clobetasol Propionate Spray vs Ointment in Plaque Psoriasis

July 28, 2022 updated by: Galderma R&D

A Comparison Between Clobetasol Propionate (Clobex®) Spray and Clobetasol Propionate Ointment With Regard to Efficacy, Safety, Subject Satisfaction and Duration of Response in Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis

This study is a comparison between Clobetasol Propionate Spray and Clobetasol Propionate Ointment with Regard to Efficacy, Safety, Subject Satisfaction and Duration of Response in Moderate to Severe Stable Plaque Psoriasis. Subjects will be enrolled and randomized into one of two groups: clobetasol propionate Spray for 4 weeks of treatment or clobetasol propionate ointment for 2 weeks of treatment with a 2 week follow-up visit for each group.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years to 76 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects with a diagnosis of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, defined as 3% - 20% of the body surface area. For the purposes of study treatment, most areas will be treated with the exception of face, scalp, groin, axillae and other intertriginous areas
  • Overall disease severity is at least 3 (moderate)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects who have surface area involvement too large that would require more than 50 grams per week of clobetasol propionate spray or more than 50 grams per week of clobetasol propionate ointment
  • Subjects whose psoriasis involves only the scalp, face or groin
  • Subjects with non-plaque psoriasis or other related diseases not classified as plaque psoriasis
